210 Man With Broken Nose Bronze Statue by Auguste Rodin
Size: Regular - 11" H x 6" L

The 'Man With Broken Nose' bronze sculpture is a compelling work by the renowned Auguste Rodin. Carefully hand-sculpted and cast through the age-old Lost Wax Casting Process—a detailed and intricate multi-step method—this statue stands as a symbol of Rodin's commitment to unparalleled artistry and craftsmanship, ensuring a bronze piece of enduring quality that is destined to be treasured across generations. The subject matter of this piece is particularly intriguing. In a stroke of genius, Rodin incorporated the often observed phenomenon in ancient sculptures where noses and ears, due to their fragility, deteriorate or break over time. Instead of presenting a flaw, Rodin intentionally sculpted a figure without its nose, turning what might be seen as an imperfection into an intentional and profound statement, underscoring the impermanence of human existence and the ravages of time.
